I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I’ve never been interested in.
I don’t like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don’t like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .
What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?
Used to love “reply all,” but it sadly concluded last year.
Since then “undermisunderstood” and “search engine” somewhat scratch that same itch.
Both podcasts talk about things not easily explained by an Internet search.
Underunderstood, right?
Oops. Yeah!
Concluded is a nice way to put it…
Didn’t they have to quit after doing an episode about workplace bullying at bôn appetit (or some other channel) and then getting called out for having behaved in exactly the same way for years? Proper douchebag hypocritical behaviour from memory.
They had some good episodes for sure, but fuck those guys.
I didn’t hear about that, but I’m not exactly on the pulse.

Bummer…
I listened to a couple of episodes about 6 years ago. They weren’t that great.
